MICROS Provides The Winning 9700 Solution for Brand New
Cannery Casino in North Las Vegas
$100 million project opens with MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System
Columbia, MD—January 23, 2003— Millennium Management wasn’t willing to
gamble on sub-standard technology when it opened the brand new $100 million
Cannery Casino in North Las Vegas this month. After an exhaustive review of
software vendors, Millennium’s partners chose MICROS Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology solutions for the
hospitality industry. MICROS worked closely with Millennium Management
during construction of the casino and installed its 9700 Hospitality Management
System (HMS) as the property’s comprehensive point-of-sale solution.
“We are thrilled to have had such a successful opening and our employees
already appreciate the excellent functionality of the MICROS 9700 HMS,” stated
Bill Paulos, owner and founding partner of Millennium Management. “As the
Cannery is a 50,000 square foot casino with four restaurants and a special
events facility, we have a high level of activity to manage 24 hours a day. The
stability and functionality of the MICROS system are very important to us.”
Ed Chapel, MICROS Vice President of Distribution for the West Coast, concurred
that system reliability is a big part of MICROS’s success with the casino business
sector. “MICROS has been serving this industry for many years with products
specifically designed for the casino environment. We also established a
dedicated office in Las Vegas for quick, responsive service to our growing base
of casino customers. Our systems and service have a proven track record with
casinos in Las Vegas, as well as other parts of the U.S. and the world.”
The Windows® 2000 based MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System
(HMS), specifically designed for the Casino Industry, offers POS anywhere, with
reporting and configuration everywhere. The 9700's Remote Management

Console (RMC), which includes an easy to use Configurator, an HTML-based
Report Writer, and the Autosequencer, offers a simplified and remotely
accessible tool to manage the business from any location.
Utilizing Microsoft SQL 2000 and XML, the new 9700 Net VuPoint advanced web
reporting suite allows the entire enterprise to view actionable reports and graphs
in real-time. The new web interface allows the user to query all transaction level
detail, producing not only check images, but also journal entries that allow

audits. Net VuPoint also exports to HTML, Microsoft Excel, PDF or Text,
allowing the data to be easily shared.
